Chapter 230 Batman: Huh, who killed Black Adam?
Chapter 230 Batman: Huh, who killed Black Adam? That's strange. Who was it?
I am Black Adam.
The world often tries to get rid of me, as if I were just an insignificant flea on its back.
But I will stay, I will complete my mission, no matter what, whatever the outcome... When I feel the world is tired of my words, I choose to shut it up and focus all my attention.
I must reclaim the power of the Magic Guardians; only by borrowing this power can I complete my unfinished mission.
That cowardly new magic guardian didn't deserve everything he had. He fled from me at the mere sight of me, even losing the locator Batman had given him in his panic, leaving it in my hands.
This thing, which I still cannot understand and which Sivana calls a technological creation, is able to guide me to Batman, the master of the new magic guardian.
Through him, I will be able to find that magic guardian—find Shazam!
However, now, at this very moment.
Black Adam's movement as he rushed out of the fog suddenly stopped.
He stared blankly and bewildered at the large group of people in the room.
He knew the Rogues gang, and looking at Shazam's frightened expression, he could almost guess who Batman's true ally was.
But there was only one person... only one person.
Black Adam looked at the mechanical superhero.
The other person was expressionless, their half-mechanical face so calm, yet the horned monster he called Steppenwolf was not by his side.
Black Adam wasn't stupid; on the contrary, he was quite clever. Almost instantly, he vaguely guessed the relationship between Steppenwolf, Superman, and Batman.
This is interesting... a hidden enemy, an enemy who, like him, is an adversary of Batman.
This is an object that can be utilized.
Although he never plays the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" trick, the appearance of the other party undoubtedly increased his chances of winning in what seemed like a somewhat unfavorable situation.
He immediately shifted his body to the side and cut between Chen Tao and the mechanical superman.
Chen Tao saw through the other party's intentions in an instant, which made him feel a little strange. In fact, although he had made a lot of preparations, he had not initially expected that he would become teammates with the mechanical superman on the surface under the government's matchmaking.
Therefore, he originally thought that being able to force the mechanical superhero to retreat would be quite an achievement. Who knew that after all the twists and turns, in the end…
"Thunder Explosion!" The Weather Wizard rushed forward immediately, followed by Captain Cold's voice trying to stop him.
However, Black Adam had already seen his tricks.
"The same trick won't work on Black Adam a second time."
He said.
He then muttered some incantation, and a dim, azure light flashed across his body. He then disregarded everything and simply bathed in the weather wizard's plasma with his bare body.
The sound of lightning striking incessantly filled the air, and the electric current pierced the air, emitting a burnt, foul smell.
As it turned out, as long as Black Adam didn't obsessively try to counter the Weather Wizard's superpowers with anti-spells, the threat the Wizard posed to him was limited. But Black Adam couldn't laugh at all.
His gaze swept over the people behind him. Dr. Sivana had briefly informed him of the name of the enemy he was about to face in the car.
Wonder Woman, Batman, Captain Cold, and a bald, green, humanoid monster he didn't recognize but who looked incredibly dangerous.
Any one of them could rival him.
The guy in front of us, called the Weather Wizard, is just a small fry they threw out to drain their energy.
Black Adam was not a reckless man who would charge into battle against so many enemies.
He knew very well that his only chance of winning was...
It's a mechanical superhero.
This guy has a secret; he's definitely not on Batman's side. Although he appears to be standing with Batman, Black Adam can see the truth.
And about that ram-horned monster...
Even in a brief exchange, he could still sense the explosive energy within his opponent.
With the addition of the two of them, he only needs to help him hold off Wonder Woman and Batman, and he is confident that he can wipe out Captain Cold and his gang of henchmen, thus securing victory.
call--
The weather wizard conjured a blizzard. But even such a hurricane couldn't stop Black Adam's advance.
The heatwave spewed flames at him.
What a ridiculous trick; only a child would breathe fire on someone.
Black Adam didn't take them seriously.
While characters like the Weather Wizard possess unique abilities, and might even cause him a minor setback upon first encounter, they are still not enough to pose a significant threat.
Rumble rumble rumble rumble!
Caught off guard, Captain Cold stretched out his hands, and with his cooperation, the blizzard stirred up by the weather wizard quickly became mixed with countless huge ice blocks the size of human heads.
The heatwave simultaneously spewed out flames, which, instead of being extinguished by the blizzard, swirled in the air and, accelerated by the violent winds of hundreds of miles per hour, were spread out like stars in the sky, creating a dual spectacle of fire and ice, which lashed down on the massive ice blocks.
"!????"
Black Adam blinked, utterly unable to fathom how ice and fire could be mixed together without canceling each other out. The attack before him was bizarre and unpredictable, extremely...
Imaginative.
The truth is, once the members of the Rogue Gang join forces, their troublesomeness increases many times over. Black Adam saw that the hailstones, each the size of a human head, were not irregular circles, but rather hexagonal prisms with sharp edges, each surface as smooth as a mirror.
Black Adam's extensive combat experience saved his life, making him immediately realize that there were traps hidden among them.
Sure enough, while the hailstones were still suspended in mid-air, countless mirror images created by the Mirror Masters fell into Black Adam's arms like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
These illusions failed to fool Black Adam, who immediately noticed the golden glider revealing its true form behind him—the real threat.
This series features a chaotic yet perfectly coordinated attack style, reminiscent of a fairy tale, which left Black Adam looking quite displeased.
This wasn't because he couldn't withstand the attacks, but because he realized he had misjudged the strength of Captain Cold and his group. Perhaps he couldn't do what he originally planned: kill Captain Cold and his team head-on and then quickly reinforce Mecha Superman.
So Black Adam immediately decided to run away.
If it's clear that a battle is unlikely to yield any results, then cutting your losses is the top priority.
Without hesitation, he roared with lightning speed, repelling the translucent golden glider, then immediately turned and retreated quickly from the direction of the mechanical superman.
He was certain that the mechanical superman wouldn't dare to attack him.
The other party saw Dr. Sivana driving the car and knew very well that Black Adam was the first eyewitness to know that he was traveling with the Wild Wolf.
Without being able to determine whether Black Adam would leak information, the other party would not dare to do anything to him.
From Superman's perspective, unless he was confident he could instantly kill Black Adam and render him speechless, he would never risk arousing suspicion from Batman and the government by actually confronting Black Adam.
That was undoubtedly an act of suicide.
So Black Adam confidently retreated from the mechanical superhero, while simultaneously planning his next move to deal with Batman.
Batman is not Shazam's babysitter; he can protect Shazam for a while, but not forever.
Everyone has moments of weakness, and those are the moments when Black Adam strikes. No one knows just how important those magical powers are to Black Adam.
In fact, Black Adam's deductions about the mechanical superhero were incredibly accurate.
Hank Henshaw had already decided to let Black Adam escape, and then find a way to silence him when no one was around.
In short, he once had a plan, but now the plan has been completely ruined by the government's unpredictable actions and Batman's disgusting methods.
What was originally a simple, positive-energy sitcom about "a Supergirl coming to Earth, being kidnapped by the evil Steppenwolf, and then being rescued by the righteous robot Superman" has been ruined by Batman and his gang, and now there's no need to continue the story.
Even if he summoned Steppenwolf to continue his act, Batman would be the one stealing the spotlight, not him. What would be the point?
So the mechanical superhero half-closed his eyes, intending to just watch Black Adam escape.
However, not far in front of him, he suddenly saw the other person's body freeze, hover in the air, and desperately choke on his own throat.
"What's going on?"
The robotic superhero turned to Batman: "You did this?"
"How can you pin something on me that I didn't do?" Then he saw Batman's eyes widen: "I didn't even know him before!"
"Sand...cough cough cough cough..."
"A sand bath?" Batman tilted his head.
Black Adam was so angry his eyes rolled back. He clutched his throat and coughed violently, "Cough cough cough..."
His lips seemed to twitch, then his entire body convulsed as if electrocuted: "Shazam!"
Nothing happened.
The mechanical superman watched as the other struggled desperately to land, then lay sprawled on the ground in a disheveled state, trying to throw away the brick-like metal locator slung across his waist, as if every second he held onto it was excruciating pain.
But his hand remained firmly stuck to it.
"hiss……"
None of the people present understood what was happening, but Killer Croc, who had been with Batman the longest, reacted immediately.
He leaned over and whispered in Chen Tao's ear, "I was wondering why you gave Shazam such a heavy, brick-like locator. With today's advanced technology, even if it had to be used for storage, it could have been made much lighter."
The crocodile said with mixed feelings.
Seeing that Batman didn't stop him, he boldly continued, "But I didn't expect, Batman, that you wanted to add some other functions to this machine from the very beginning, did you?"
He said in a low voice, "Energy cannot be created out of thin air. To have enough power, you need a large enough volume and a heavy enough mass. Let me guess."
He said, "Some kind of specially made weapon that uses electrical stimulation to control the user to shout the word 'Shazam'?"
He looked at Black Adam, who was still desperately trying to clear his throat, struggling against the urge to shout "Shazam!": "However, now, a small unexpected situation has arisen. The machine now needs to control Black Adam instead of Shazam. Human bodies are different, and Black Adam's throat is slightly different from Billy's. Therefore, this machine can no longer generate the specific muscle-stimulating current that was used for Shazam's throat before, but needs to be fine-tuned for Black Adam's throat."
Black Adam wanted to release the metal box stuck to his hand, but he was trembling all over and couldn't concentrate on controlling his body.
He devoted all his energy to preventing his throat from dragging him into the abyss. Even the most indistinct Shazam was still the same word. Once he shouted it out loud, he would immediately lose his divine power and become a mortal again.
That's not the most terrifying part. What's even more terrifying is that after he killed his nephew and seized divine power, he never returned to his original form. Thousands of years have passed, and he's unsure what would happen if he did revert back.
Although they spoke very softly, everyone present had superhuman hearing.
Aside from the few rogues who helped them and the few superhumans who hadn't enhanced their hearing, most people actually heard Killer Croc and Batman's whispers.
Shazam overheard Killer Croc's whispered conversation. He looked at Batman in disbelief, feeling his own superhero story crumbling.
What happened to the mutual trust between teammates?
"What? You're prepared to turn me back into a child at any time?" He was angry, yet also frightened. "How could you do this to me!"
He turned to Killer Croc: "How could Batman treat me like this!"
But he saw Killer Croc's nonchalant expression: "Hey, what's wrong with that?"
The crocodile shrugged. Batman didn't stop him, so he simply stopped pretending and spoke in a normal voice instead of whispering:
"Batman always has a backup plan. He just turned you back into a child, which is actually quite kind of him."
Killer Croc briefly recalled in his mind Superman's eyes and mouth twitching and his silly grin after being completely controlled, as well as the specially made "pink pill of complete obedience".
Then he said sincerely:
"Batman has even become much gentler lately."
Billy was so angry he choked, and he turned to glare at Chen Tao.
"Batman, say something!"
He looked at Wonder Woman, who was performing "Red Light, Green Light" next to him: "Does all of this make sense?"
Wonder Woman touched her chin and then said:
"Um... I'm not so sure? But it does sound like something Batman would do."
The five-thousand-year-old girl shrugged: "But the outcome was good, wasn't it?"
"What?" At this moment, Batman also seemed to wake up from a dream, appearing even more bewildered than Billy.
He looked at Black Adam, who was wailing and turning to ashes, and uttered a strange sound: "Oh dear, who on earth turned Black Adam into this?"
"That's strange, who could it be?"
He looked puzzled. "That's so strange!"
